    Whcih bills are you talking about? Presumably gas/electricity?
    How do you heat/hot water your flat?
    What is your annual kWh consumption? No one can guess your usage, it depends on too many variables.
    Gas CH is much cheaper than all electric heating, ,even with E7.
    Yes of course you can pay a lump sum ahead and run your account in permanent credit-but how on earth would that save you money?
    The best tariffs will be found by putting your annual kWh figs into a comp site.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
